Exchanges Coinbase Launches Perpetual Futures for U.S. Traders

The largest U.S. crypto exchange, Coinbase, has launched perpetual futures trading for U.S.-based users. The platform offers contracts on Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The product is available through Coinbase Financial Markets and is regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Coinbase noted that U.S. traders have been without access to perpetual futures for years due to complex regulatory requirements.

Traders can use leverage of up to 10x. The expiration term of the contracts is five years, unlike traditional monthly or quarterly futures.

According to the exchange, this allows for more flexible and long-term strategies. Trading fees start at 0.02% per contract with a minimum fee of $0.15.

The launch comes amid the adoption of major legislation in the U.S., including the GENIUS Act, which sets stablecoin regulations, and the CLARITY Act, which clarifies the roles of the SEC and CFTC in regulating crypto assets. The GENIUS Act has already been signed by President Donald Trump.

On July 18, Coinbase shares reached a $100 billion market capitalization and hit an all-time high above $440.

On the day of the perpetual futures launch, COIN fell by 1.47% and closed at $419.78.
